I doubt if the word "coffin" has the connotation you think. A "coffin" is a
box like container. It has only recently come to almost exclusively mean a
holder of dead remains. A bread trencher is close to a "coffin," so I do not
think it would be a stretch to picture bread "coffins" as serving dishes,
perhaps.
